    It’s so confused. “Subway instead of drive” sure, because it’s faster and easier. “Flying like a sardine instead of a human” what are you trying to prove?

      I’m a 1,90m dude, not particularly slender, bigger than 95% of humans out there. I fly economy most of the time (every time I have to pay for it myself). Sure you don’t get a suite, but what sardines are you talking about? It’s really not that bad. Get some videos on your phone, noise canceling headphones, and it’s just fine. It’s really not worse than my own car, space wise.

        Get on board a train. Ride that to the airport. Exit the train and board a plane. Tell me you haven’t noticed a difference.

        It’s downright claustrophobic on modern airlines

        Flying at peak time with airport security sucks already. Then the small seat just makes it worse. Admittedly, it does suck a little less now that seats have screens.

      Well, she seems to want to understand regular people, which is good. But there can’t be a worse display of that then thinking flying economy is fun, goddamn.
